I won't come on like the RationalWiki fan club will and dismiss such an experience as {bull with tail raised}. Perhaps things like this can come from a source we call God. Yet they remain individual nonetheless. The longer I've gone on, the less convinced I am that religion can accurately portray the mind of God or the relationship between God and human beings in a created universe. Religion at large chose not to respond to the challenge of atheism in a meaningful way, leaving us the impression that it can't do so. Which is why you see the victory dance of Bill Maher and Richard Dawkins, and why the gifts religion could offer to humankind go unused.

That's all neither here nor there to me, as I believe relationships with the divine are meant to be enjoyed in private or with fellowships, rather than to slam into our planet as a set of do-or-die rules. The disciplinarians took the gentle discipline out of God; the authoritarians squandered away his legitimacy.

The word may be "validation." As what a social worker does with a client. The "Trickster" of course is a favorite among Ute storytellers in North America. You gotta watch for him, he's always pulling someone's leg.  Smile

Especially mine. Now I know why they have that "medication minder," the little pillbox with 7 lids marked Sun, Mon, Tue, ...   Smile
